Tip #4: Weight the outside pedal and inside handlebar

Your knee closest to the inside corner should be up, with your opposite leg forcefully extended against the outside pedal for balance. Lightly weighting the inside handlebar is also effective. “If you get into a habit of doing this into every corner, you’ll realize you aren’t even turning the handlebars, the weight is turning you,” Gue says. This counter-steering helps hold your front tire to the road and keeps you balanced.
